Creator's Key Takeaways

if you live relatively close to the Port City then there's really no need for you to get a hotel for the night before because guess what you're already in the port city

if you live maybe a couple hours away or you're traveling to a different country then it might make more sense for you to arrive a day ahead of time

flying for example will definitely get you there quicker however the flights tend to run on a schedule

we were delayed about 12 hours so we didn't get to Aruba until about four o'clock in the morning

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider arriving a day ahead if you live far from the port or are traveling to a different country
Look for hotels near the terminal that offer cruise packages with breakfast and transportation
Drive to the port to avoid flight schedules and potential delays
